Delta Air Lines and one of its Delta Connection partners will add flights to Las Vegas in the fall.

Comair Inc., a partner in Delta's worldwide network, will enter the Las Vegas market with one daily round-trip flight between Tulsa, Okla., and McCarran International Airport. The flight will leave Tulsa daily at 10:30 p.m., arriving at 11:25 p.m., and leave Las Vegas at 12:15 a.m., arriving in Tulsa at 4:49 a.m.

Cincinnati-based Comair has more than 700 daily flights to 80 cities in 30 states with routes ranging from Bangor, Maine, to Nassau in the Bahamas. Las Vegas will be the company's westernmost destination. Flights begin Oct. 1.

The company flies 50-seat twin-engine Canadair regional jets.

In an expansion at its Atlanta hub, Delta Air Lines announced seven new round-trip flights, including one to and from Las Vegas. The new flight, which will begin Nov. 1, will bring the total to five nonstop trips to Las Vegas and six from the city.
